CES KICKS OFF Tonight.

2008-01-06T17:14:00.000-06:00

R.I.P. HD-dvd. At least that's what im hearing we be the talk of the electronics world after CES in done this week. With Warner jumping to blue ray it really only leaves Paramount in HD's pocket. Anyway Microsoft's Bill Gates kicks things off tonight with a press conference. Rumors say it will involve licensing the xbox brand to other manufacturers (much like dvd players are made by many people) Would be a interesting step in the console business if this pans out. These shows are not for us the public con goer, but we often get some pretty great genre news out of them.

The La convention center had to close early because of a power outage at the nintendo and Ea booths. Man those wii's must have been using to much electricity. Here for Kotaku's Report Man E for all was probably doomed from the start but this hurts them even more,.

See original Star Trek on the Big Screen

On Tuesday Nov 13th in 300 theatres across the country The original remastered for Hi Def Star Trek episode "The Menagerie" will be shown in theatres with digital projector capabilties. Anyone setting up some mini con type events around there showing? I think it's a pretty neat idea and I think Theatre owners should be more open to these type of off beat things to get people back into the cinema. Anyway complete details and a listing for cities participating can be found at Fathom Events
